Coming soon near you! UK home secretary Amber Rudd plans to crackdown on
people “who view despicable terrorist content online, including jihadi
websites, far-right propaganda and
bomb-making instructions.” So sites deemed “far-right propaganda” (but
not far-left propaganda) could lead to the arrest of UK citizens —
leaving the government with a sweeping and ambiguous mandate. Oh, and if
you happen to visit the "wrong" website in the UK? You face penalties
of up to 15 years in prison. Look for the US government to soon make
similar attempts to decide what we can and cannot read on the Internet.
